No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 629

It seemed that aside from Yolande, Grant was another who truly knew Ernest.

At least, he was privy to more of the dangers Ernest had faced than I was.

But now, I lacked the courage to delve into his past. I feared that learning of his hardships would only deepen my sorrow and longing for him.

"I don't believe it," Grant repeated those words.

I understood that feeling. In my heart, Ernest wasn't gone; he had just traveled to a place beyond my reach.

"Let's just say he's gone on a long journey," I said, giving the bell a gentle shake.

The clear sound somehow filled the emptiness within me with warmth.

Thank goodness!

This bell Ernest left me was truly a lifesaver.

"Give me a moment, and then I have something for you," Grant suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"You'll see," Grant replied before leaving.

I wanted to call after him, but seeing him — usually so full of laughter — now looking as if he had lost everything, I held back.

To me, Ernest was the love of my life, and losing him had shattered my heart.

For Grant, losing Ernest, his battle buddy, felt like losing a piece of himself.

After Grant left, I sat in the office, idly ringing the bell, lost in thought until noon.
